The Attorney General emphasized that a lawyer must be smart, prosperous, and carry themselves with dignity. According to him, the legal profession is a learned profession, and lawyers should reflect that status in the way they present themselves, conduct their affairs, and engage with society.
He urged lawyers to walk confidently in their profession, noting that wherever they go, they should be recognized as members of a respected calling. Lawyers should not shy away from standing up, speaking out, and making meaningful contributions.
In his view, a lawyer's appearance, conduct, and overall bearing should inspire confidence and command respect, reflecting the honour and prestige associated with the profession.
Access to justice took a significant step forward in Napak District with the launch of the ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐by the Judiciary and the operationalisation of the Napak Grade I Court. ๐๏ธ
Designed to help individuals resolve simple civil disputes quickly, affordably, and without the need for legal representation. By allowing parties to use their mother tongue and ensuring cases are concluded within a short timeframe, the procedure makes justice more accessible to ordinary citizens.
For the people of Napak, this development means reduced travel costs, fewer delays, and improved access to court services closer to home. It also strengthens the ability of community members to seek redress for monetary disputes and other civil matters, bringing justice within reach for those who need it most. ๐๐พ

Trust me, a person who doesn't pray but avoids sin and hurting others is far better than a person who prays five times every day but still sins and treats people like trash, 100%. In life, kindness, love and humanity will open doors that religion can never.
